Nice Flash & AIR debugger

It’s a simple AIR based debugger for flash & AIR apps.
Arthropod is really easy to use, the only thing you need to do is import the Debug class, write a log message with the log function, start Arthropod and publish your site / AIR application.

Nice application to try

Beberapa alasan Plurker tidak akan dibuat di platform AIR

Layanan Plurk sudah 2 bulan ini semakin menunjukan perkembangan pesat, terakhir sudah mencapai 80000 pengguna.

Beberapa developer menanyakan ketersediaan client API untuk Plurk, termasuk official client desktop app. Memang ada developer AIR platform yang terobsesi ikut membuat client di platform AIR.

Tapi jawaban ini lumayan bikin mikir. Tapi aku pikir ini justru membuat developer AIR malah lebih tertantang untuk bikin versi AIR-nya. Pengen bikin juga?

Buzzword, Awesome online web processor

A nice Flex application for word processing over web has been released on http://buzzword.acrobat.com.

I spent a little time today for playing around it and found some nice features. It provide capabilities such importing a *.doc files, and successful for rendering table, enable history operation (undo, redo), and other rich text processing operations.

Other good thing about it that Adobe has a whole set of Development APIs that can be used in Flex/AIR to provide such capabilities into our applications.

Tentang Apollo™ sampai saat ini kita tidak bisa terlalu dini memberi penilaian khusus karena masih versi alpha.
Paling tidak janganlah Apollo sama nasibnya dengan saudara tuanya (Central) yang langsung layu / kurang diminati, [alasan Adobe : Central hanya diperuntukkan di Actionscript 2.0]
